In this episode of the California Underground podcast, the hosts discuss the critical issue surrounding the Potter Valley Dam and its impending removal by PG&E, which threatens the water supply for farmers and ranchers in the region. Special guests Tate Bennett and Keeley Covello provide insights into the historical significance of the dam, the environmental policies driving its removal, and the broader implications for California's agricultural landscape. The conversation highlights the struggles of local farmers, the role of government and NGOs, and the importance of social media in raising awareness about these pressing issues.
